Are these sources unreliable? If not, the content sourced to these sources cannot be removed. I can source a summary of Carlleyle's views to similar sources if you wish.

Further, why did you remove the photograph and the caption or the architectural details sourced from Asher and Crane - do you dispute the accuracy?

Now, to respond to your edit summary:

> The primary sources (Baburnama and inscriptions) and scholarly research, including works by Howard Crane, confirm that the mosque was purpose-built by Babur in 1526-27.

What I wrote did not claim otherwise and I agree that there is absolutely no doubt that the mosque was built by Babur. On an aside, Baburnama has nothing on the mosque.

> No credible evidence supports the assertion of a prior Hindu temple on the site. Claims relying on 19th-century reports or local traditions lack substantiation in historical records.

Mukhliṣ' Safarnama (c. 1750) or Aḥmad ʿAlī's Kawāʾif al-Sair (c. 1780) are neither "19th-century reports" nor "local traditions". Sanjay Subrahmanyam and Muzaffar Alam use the example of the mosque to drive their thesis about communal relations under the Mughals!

Also, in all probabilities, Crane, not being a South Asianist, didn't know about Mukhliṣ' Safarnama or Aḥmad ʿAlī's Kawāʾif al-Sair and (rationally) didn't take the ever-expanding Hindu victimhood very seriously. Further, scholars of Islam in South Asia like Asim Roy (and Alam) accept that the Sambhal Mosque was constructed by converting a temple.

Cerium4B, you cannot continue to edit war and remove sourced content without participating in a substantial discussion. Upd Edit (talk) 20:14, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I have reinstated the content. Cerium4B, Aliyiya5903, reverts need to be policy-based, and you need to cite the policy per which you are reverting. For anything more complicated, you need to explain your reasons here. As far as I can see, your objections are merely an instance of WP:IDONTLIKEIT. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 23:57, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
